Two days later, the “Seagull” made a slow descent on the runway next to the forest terminus station.
Tilly saw Ashes waiting for her as she got off the plane.
As usual, Ashes immediately came here, although she knew this was going to be a short meeting.
Sometimes, Tilly even doubted whether Ashes had fulfilled her duties entrusted by Roland.
Yet Ashes always said to her, “Don’t worry. Leaf is now in the form of the Heart of Forest, so nobody could possibly hurt her. She’s always the first person to notify me of your arrival.”
“How long are you going to stay here today?” Ashes asked her after the onlookers scuttled away.
“I’ll be here until tomorrow morning,” Tilly said heavily as she stared into Ashes’ smiling eyes. She had promised Roland to persuade Ashes, but now her confidence somehow wavered. “Iron Axe and Edith came here as well. The ‘Torch’ project is close to its end, so there’s a lot to clarify.”
“So you’re staying overnight…” Ashes mumbled thoughtfully. “Well in that case, let’s go to the campsite first. Leaf grew some new fruit that taste really good. I’ll set up a bonfire in the evening so that we could have some barbeque…”
Every time Tilly had leisure time, Ashes would instantly fill her schedule.
“Not this time. I have to do a lot of preparation work tonight and probably won’t have time.”
Deflated, Ashes sighed, “Alright… I see.”
Tilly could not help giggling as she saw this invincible Extraordinary be subdued like a punctured balloon. She instantly felt more self-assured. “But I’m not the person who’s going to be busy. It’s going to be you actually. We’ll work together in the next few days, so you have to get prepared.”
“Me?”
“Yes, the Special Unit needs you to intercept the demons, so you’ll have to pack tonight and go to the front with me tomorrow morning. Of course, we’re going to take the ‘Seagull’,” Tilly said smilingly. “As for Leaf, I’ll ask Roland to appoint another person to take care of her.”
“…” It took Ashes a while to put herself together. She complained, “You could have told me at the beginning…”
While Ignoring Ashes’ protest, Tilly averted her eyes and said, “We don’t have time for barbeque today, but we could still have some fruit. Do you care to take me there?”
Ashes immediately extended her hand and said, “Sure.”
…
After they returned to their abode at the encampment after dinner, Tilly told Ashes the operation plan drafted by the General Staff.
Ashes seemed to have already predicted that she’ll be in the sniper team. However, when Tilly mentioned about the operator of the “Seagull”, her face clouded over.
“Don’t tell me that you’re going to operate the ‘Seagull’.”
After a moment of silence, Tilly looked up into her eyes and replied, “I’m the best person for this task.”
“But Roland promised me that he would take care of you. He would never let you participate in the war!” Ashes flared up. “I need to talk to him —”
“He didn’t agree with this arrangement.”
“What?”
